What do you think about the next-gen bookmarking tool?

Hey everyone,

Since the dawn of the internet, people have struggled to keep track of their sources, links, and articles when they intend on revisiting (including me). Therefore, my friend and I are working on a new PKM tool. We'd love to get some feedback from you guys!

Our app is a bit different from the current popular ones like Raindrop and Obsidian. Here are some of our unique features:

1/ You can store not just notes and web links, but also photos, videos, audio, PDFs and documents!

2/ The search function is more intuitive, so you can search for things like "A picture of dog drawing" or "A song mummy dont know daddy's getting hot", for example.

3/ We automatically generate key notes and mind maps for your bookmarked content to make your organization process easier.

4/ You can share your bookmarks easily with others.

We're really focused on making the process of storing information as simple and quick as possible. Can you suggest some features that you would like to have in a bookmarking product? Do you see any drawbacks in your fav bookmarking app right now? Can't wait to hear your thoughts and feedback on our ideas!

P/s: If you're interested in being one of the first users of our product when it launches, feel free to send me your email. I'd love to keep you in the loop!



I like some of the bookmarking ideas you highlighted. Both and Chrome and Firefox bookmarks seem completely neglected.

Interestingly, Microsoft’s Edge browser have a feature called 'collections'. A souped-up bookmarking feature: visual links, images, notes. Also, Edge lets you edit and annotate PDFs. (Chrome and Firefox display read-only PDFs).

This random YouTube video makes a case for Edge 'collections' and PDF features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fjwNMyHWCY&t=152s


Great!! Thanks for your comment; I'm grateful for that.

Not really. You can edit PDF with Firefox.


Could you build in a feature to allow people download stuff instead of to local, but to G Drive/Dropbox into it? It's a way to permanently have stuff you like on your own drive. Personal web archiving too. There are these suite of tools around "personal information management" which need to be built.


I'm interested (as a current obsidian, raindrop and rewind.ai user), but I don't see your email.


Hii. Please send me your email and I'll ping you back


Heliostatic at gmail


I am also interested. I use Raindrop, Pocket and Liner for all of my bookmarking needs.

How do we contact you?
